India: Elections 2017 – Ten fun facts & cartoons

1. #BJP winning approx 63% of seats (435/690) of #Elections2017. Orange Holi it is. Holi and Diwali to get proper electricity too. History takes ‘U’ turn. U for #UttarPradesh. U for #Uttarakhand.
2. Election Commission had banned all exit polls during elections. The polls came out later, still got it way way wrong! They didn’t see the #TsuNaMo coming.

3. Kudos to #Muslims of #UttarPradesh for choosing secularism and #TripleTalaqBan over polarization and appeasement. Union Minister Giriraj Singh’s was probably right, the minority tag to Muslims should be rolled back. 15% population doesn’t qualify to be labelled minority. They are majority and should be treated as a major force in helping build #India. #SabkaSaathSabkaVikas

4. #BJP didn’t field a single Muslim candidate in the UP elections and Muslims who voted for BJP, saw through the ideology. Out goes the repeatedly mentioned ‘Muslim vote’ agenda for future polls.

5. #Congress must thank #ArvindKejriwal for his non stop appearance ads on television news channels. That was biggest helping hand for #Congress. Next time they want to win an election must choose AK to be their rival.

8. All in all, Punjabis of #Punjab have proved they are smarter than Delhites of #Delhi ! No more sardar jokes please!

9. Yet Manipuris of #Manipur proved they are smartest of all. They had overall voter turnout percentage of 86%. Highest ever. Kudos.

10. Indian media has learnt a lot from #Trump #POTUS win. Media hyped the five states election no end making it look bigger than #USAElections. Media influencers went on to predict #NaMo victory much ahead of time. Red face saved. Credibility intact.

Very entertaining, no doubt . But let me add some more : SP’s cycle getting punctured as a result of RaGa riding on it . Behenji’s claim that EVMs in Uttar Pradesh elections were tempered as a result all votes went in favour of BJP . And finally the quip from NaMo himself about Tipu touching the electric wires [ as he knew that there was no electricity ] and RaGa ducking [ as he is used to ducking all questions ] . And then the validity of exit calls . NDTV claimed 193 seats in favour of BJP and at the last moment, actually brought it down to 170 !! All said and done , my belief is that by spending 3 days in Varanasi , NaMo turned the tide in BJP’s favour and I am personally convinced that now nothing will stop him from getting a second term in 2019 if he seeks one . Even his staunch critics like PC say so . Jai Hind .

Patnaik, wonderful collation of the information and cartoons, and moreover I find like whole election is mind mapped….. super se uppar……

but should have more then 10 points….
You missed major point – on same not as “Pakistan didn’t killed my father war did” …. on same note “Modi didn’t defeat…………….” and related cartoon of Akhilesh and Rahul
